What You Will Learn

If you want sophisticated insights AND practical analysis on some of the most important commercial finance issues, and the opportunity to engage in discussions with fellow attendees, this program is for you.

This year’s program will explore seven significant issues overlooked in the most challenging commercial secured lending transactions and which could result in significant adverse consequences if mishandled. Each panel discussion will be lead by prominent legal scholars and seasoned practitioners who are regularly confronted with these issues and are actively involved in ongoing law reform efforts. The topics include:

Who is the debtor? Trusts, business trusts, LLPs, series LLCs

Consignments and reclamation rights: when does the consignor or seller win?

Receivables financing: is there a present right to a future receivable?

Security interests in deposit accounts: when does a lien creditor trump a deposit account control agreement?

Proceeds: how long does attachment, perfection, and priority last?

Article 9 v. equitable principles: who wins?

Does Article 9 capture Going Concern Value or is that a “bridge too far”?

New developments and legal interpretations in each of these areas are having a profound effect on lending, borrowing, and other financial services.This course is designed to equip our participants with an already sophisticated legal practice to meet these challenges.

Register today! On-site attendees will also benefit from opportunities to network and learn from faculty and experienced practitioners from across the country.
